A synchronization timing detector includes n correlators, a calculation unit, and a symbol timing estimating unit. The n correlators calculate and output correlation values, between a received signal oversampled m times for one symbol period and a known synchronization pattern, by shifting sample timings by m/n samples each, where m is a natural number, and n is a natural number that satisfies 3≤n≤m and is a divisor of m. The calculation unit generates n correlation value vectors by arranging the correlation values output from the n correlators on polar coordinates at intervals of an angle of 2π(n/m) radians, and adds the n correlation value vectors to calculate an angle of a resultant vector of the correlation value vectors. The symbol timing estimating unit estimates a symbol timing of the received signal based on the angle of the resultant vector calculated by the calculation unit.
